A dowel. I originally bought this attachment to use in helping my son build his Pinewood derby car for Cub Scouts. Forget getting anything longer in anything like a straight line. Pegboard. Provided it doesn't bind first.In short, I can't see a use for this attachment after trying and failing to use it in several different projects. You can't see where you're cutting, the grip is awkward, and it moves all over the place.2) You don't need to cut anything more than 1/8th of an inch thick.
Don't even think about it. This is a great tool so long as:1) You don't need to cut more than, say, 3/4ths of an inch in length. Hard plastic. Even then, expect the ultra-thin blade to bind like crazy.3) You don't need to cut anything hard. Thin plywood. It might cut (partially) through some nice Chinese drywall or wet cardboard.
Maybe you'll have better luck, but you should definitely think twice before purchasing it.
This mini saw works great for cutting wood up to 1/4". I've used it for some hobby projects as well as cutting outlet/light switch holes in a sheet of wall paneling. Good tool with a safe design.
I bought this tool for my father to attach to his dremel tool to help us fix one of our door frames. We had to cut out a 6 inch section of the frame and replace it. This dremel circular saw tool did the job exactly as we'd hoped.
This unit is well built. Actually too well built. was more than what i needed. They definitely had safety in mind when they built it.
It's like a toy saw, the construction quality of the housing is good and sometimes it does work quite well. But the tooth of the saw itself went curved with 2 hours of use, and the dremel tool doesn't have enough torque to work except on the easiest surfaces, maybe balsa or very thin wood. A big deception.
